Janet Jean Seely

Janet Jean Olson Seely was born on March 22, 1958, to Glade Larry Olson and Rhea Jean Livingston in Mount Pleasant, Utah. She peacefully passed away at home surrounded by her family on October 17, 2025, after a long, courageous battle with COPD.

Janet grew up in Moroni with her parents and her younger brothers. She was a bright, friendly child. She had many friends growing up, a trait that defined Janet’s life. Janet was a good sister who loved and looked after her brothers. Janet enjoyed spending time with her grandma Livingston and was often at her house.

Janet and her former husband, Richard Kent Olson, married on November 15, 1975. They had two daughters, Aimee and Misty, who they adored.

Janet married her late husband, Stanton C. Seely, on December 6, 1999. They lived a wonderful life together full of love, joy, and laughter in Mount Pleasant, where they renovated and moved into their dream home. Their family was a true blended family, Stanton and his family loved Janet’s children and grandchildren like they were his own and Janet’s family loved Stanton deeply. Stanton later passed on January 23, 2011.

After Stanton’s passing, Janet found an amazing companion, David Clancy Johnson. They went on many adventures together and had a lot of fun. Clancy was a dedicated partner who took Janet to her many medical appointments and never left her side. They went to the bar almost everyday until her passing for a root “beer”, potstickers, and Peanut M&Ms.

Janet was diagnosed with lung cancer in October 2019. She fought it and won. After her bout with Cancer, she took up riding a Harley. She loved it. Her kids, not so much. She loved the feeling of the wind on her face, and the freedom riding gave her.

Janet loved a lot in life. She loved gardening and flowers. She loved going fishing and riding in the boat. She loved her dogs. She loved shopping for anything, literally… anything. She especially loved shopping for Christmas decorations, primitive home décor, and antiques. She was always bringing something new home. She would call her daughters and ask, “Where can I put this?” and they’d simply ask what she wanted to take out. The answer was nothing, so they made room for all. She has so many trinkets and intricate things, her family is pretty sure she had more butter molds and coffee grinders than an antique museum. She loved old quilts, hutches, and teacups and had many for decoration in her home. Janet’s daughters called it “mom stuff” and she loved all of it.

Janet loved her family, especially her beautiful grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was proud of each one of them and loved seeing them more than anything.

Janet was a 30-year fixture at the Triangle Lounge. She loved working there with Stanton until his passing. In 2012, Janet purchased the bar, and it became Stanley’s Triangle Lounge. Janet was a pillar in the community and served many people their first legal drink. She is very much loved by her bar family and will be sorely missed.

Janet is survived by her companion, David Clancy Johnson, Fairview, Utah; her children Aimee (Kyle) Jensen and Misty (Russell) Hill, Mount Pleasant, Utah; her grandchildren Garrett (Reagan) Pyper, Kyden Johnson, and Ava Jensen; and her great-grandchildren Hudson, Paisley, and Grayson Pyper; her brother Larry (Robin) Olson, Kaysville, Utah; her loving furry friend Zero; and many in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Janet was preceded in death by her husband Stanton C. Seely, her parents Glade and Jean Olson, her brother Kirk L Olson, and many in-laws, friends & extended family members.

The family wishes to thank Clancy for being Clancy and all he has done for our mom for so many years. We love him. We also wish to thank Dr. David Bennion and IHC Home Health and Hospice for their kindness and care.

Janet wanted everyone to know she loved them… all of them! She wanted to say thank you to all her loyal customers over the years. She is going to miss all of you!

After opening a cupboard in Mom’s home after she passed, we directly blame her for the coin shortage of 2020. We think it’s hilarious, the bank probably not so much! We apologize in advance.

Janet was truly a bad ass! We will miss her.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 23 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. at Rasmussen Mortuary in Mount Pleasant, Utah. Following the visitation, a celebration of life will be held at Stanley’s Triangle Lounge at 8:00 p.m.
